If you have linux-based router with ssh access, you can use action Execute SSH Command , something (roughly) like this: iw dev ath0 station dump | awk '{if($1=="Station") printf "%s ",$2; if($1~"inactive") printf "%s\n",$3}' output will be like this (MAC ms-of-inactive-time): xx:yy:zz:c9:d9:73 10 xx...

+1 for calling stack.

BTW, what is the python backend server?

rsync though. It has nothing to do with automation. Very unexpected. Why do you think so? I'm using rsync (mostly indirectly) every day. Getting package updates, syncing backup chains between servers and workstations, even for moving hot data among the drives. As I said before, for a simple use cas...

I was able to mark a message as read using sqlite3 command: sqlite3 /data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms update sms set read=1 where _id==$ID; but _id is not provided by trigger. Another possible way is to use something like address==$sms_sender and ($triggertime-date)>$S...

My operator spamming me with a lot a «service» messages which I can't unsubscribe. Same for Emergency service. It's easy to create trigger and catch those messages, but I failed to find a way to mark SMS message as read (and dismiss relevant notification too).

Well, thus you need rsync over ssh. 1. it is just secure as ssh (I've already wrote a couple of words about ssh security) 2. rsync can be used everywhere (and using almost same syntax) instead scp 3. you can skip files that are newer on the receiver (--update) 4. you can keep partially transferred f...

What exactly you're trying to automate? E.g. «upload relatively small file» or «upload a big file» or «keep in sync large project' file/dir structure»? For the last 2 cases better to use rsync (over ssh) or any «home cloud», because they support resuming broken transfers and effective implementation...

Well, I got it, Desmanto, but evals is an ugliest workaround I ever seen. We're not «passing» or «retrieving» anything, we just (invisible) polluting and corrupting current namespace. More, putting string literal into «code» string literal is a really «funny», because we must «escape» string literal...

It is no harm to use -P 22 in scp command line. But, there are 50+ another ssh options, consider man scp and man ssh_config ;-) But I got another idea. If file transfer is the one and only use of ssh, why not to use something more simple and secure? E.g. Dropbox Upload File action? Dropbox is not se...

1. I'm using standard ssh port (22) everywhere, because there is no real security improvement in using different port. There is no need to explicitly declare port 22. 2. PasswordAuth designed to be interactive (most ssh-related tools not supported password-providing command line options, nor even re...
